I. Introduction

The modern toilet is integral to every home, office, and recreational vehicle. It was invented approximately 250 years ago and has seen significantly few functional changes during this period. This is mainly because the system is efficient and serves its purpose well. However, multiple problems persist regarding the use of this bathroom fixture. For instance, flushed paper products are a leading cause of clogged sewage lines. This can be expensive to fix. Other problems include foul toilet odor due to excrement residue after use, causing multiple flushes. In the case of RVs, the need for various flushes can lead to high water usage. Constant tank dumping trips can be costly, as well.

Another core issue is that no efficient way to clean a toilet exists. The cleaning methods currently employed use chemicals that are harmful to the environment. While effectively cleaning a bathroom, a hand-held toilet brush can also unwittingly act as a germ carrier and spread disease.

So what can we do? Should we attempt to design a new version of the toilet that addresses these problems? Not necessarily. Even if we were successful in this endeavor, introducing this solution in every home, office, and recreational vehicle is a lengthy and costly process that would take time to implement.

That’s where Trackless Flush Sheets (TFS) come in. Based on a simple idea, TFS works well with toilets and commodes to save water. They also reduce the need for costly toxic cleaning chemicals and can break down waste and paper products.

TFS gets to the root of the problem and provides an inexpensive and easy-to-use working solution. Trackless Flush Sheets are 10″ specially designed dissolvable paper sheets. They possess enzymes that can be flushed down the toilet or commode to break down waste and paper products. The unique, natural, and environmentally friendly enzymes incorporated into each flush sheet work to break down paper products and waste at a molecular level.

TFS is also made from a type of dissolvable paper stock that dissolves within 20 minutes after it is placed inside the water bowl of a toilet or commode.
This white paper will review TFS’s applications. It will also provide a comprehensive product overview, describe the market size and distribution channels, and discuss its applications for recreational, residential, and commercial customers.

II. Overview of the Market Size

Every human being excretes waste. Consequently, toilets and commodes are used for this purpose by every individual around the world. Given the essential nature of this function, we have a significant potential market for Trackless Flush Sheets.

For instance, the estimated population of the United States in 2019 was approximately 329 million. The average household size in the United States is 2.6. Therefore, a conservative assumption of one toilet per household gives us 126,538,461 toilets.

This does not include toilets installed in public places. However, every commercial outlet that serves food is required by law to have a public bathroom or commode.

Additionally, we must also account for public places such as movie theaters, shopping malls, gas stations, government buildings and parks, skyscrapers, educational institutions, factories, gyms, theme parks, building sites, doctors’ offices, nursing homes, hospitals, daycare facilities, sporting venues, museums, TV studios, concert venues, zoos, and so on.

Including these facilities easily doubles our market size, giving us over 300 million toilets. If we account for toilets in offices and workplaces, we can add 29 million toilets to our existing market size. This gives us more than 329 million toilets in the United States alone. An exact number is difficult to determine, but we can safely say that the number of bathrooms and commodes exceeds the current population size of the US.

TFS is also not limited to the United States. Instead, it can be introduced globally. Essentially, every human on the planet is part of this product’s target audience, which leaves us with endless room for growth and expansion.

III. An Overview of Legal Cases Against Flushable Paper Products

In 2018, the global market for personal wipes (feminine and baby wipes) was valued at 15.8 billion. Flushable wipes accounted for 43 percent of this market (6.8 billion). As the demand for these products has continued to grow, so have the problems associated with their use.

The use of flushable wipes could be more problematic here. These wipes do not disintegrate in water as advertised. On the contrary, they are unlikely to dissolve or disintegrate in the water. This is mainly due to the materials used to create these products. For these wipes to do their job, they must possess a certain amount of sturdiness. If they don’t, they will come apart when put to use, making them ineffective. These so-called “flushable products” comprise plastic, cotton, and wood fiber to avoid this.

Consequently, they will not dissolve after being flushed down the toilet. In 2013, Consumer Reports tested the dissolvability of these products. They tested four different types of flushable wipes. It was discovered that the wipes needed to be stirred in a mixer for 10 minutes to break apart. Simply flushing these products was ineffective.

Multiple lawsuits have been filed in the past few years to address this problem. Companies like Charmin and Walmart have been subjected to class action lawsuits seeking monetary compensation for damages caused by flushed paper products. The individuals participating in these lawsuits have reported thousands of dollars in damages due to clogged sewage lines and pipes due to these “flushable wipes.”

Additionally, States and cities have sued companies that manufacture flushable wipes for the damage these products have caused to public property and sewage lines. Wyoming, Minnesota, was the first State to do so. In 2015, these states filed multiple lawsuits against Proctor & Gamble, Kimberly-Clark, Nice-Pak, and three other companies for falsely promoting their wipes as flushable.

These issues are not limited to the United States. In 2015, government authorities in London had to pay £400,000 to remove a 10-ton build-up of flushed products from their sewage system.

Given the situation, it is safe to say that damage resulting from flushed paper products has grown steadily over the past 20 years. An immediate solution is needed to avoid the financial losses resulting from using these products.

The continued use of these products poses a dangerous precedent for your city and country system and can render it wholly ineffective. Continuing to pay for repair costs is also impractical. Not only is it a short-term solution, but there are plenty of other ways to use this money to improve living conditions and overall quality of life.

Advanced research is underway to combat wipes, plastic bottles, and other materials known as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Kyoto University in Japan discovered a natural bacterial enzyme (Ideonella sakaiensis) that will break down PET. Two recently discovered bacterial enzymes that specifically degrade PET represent a promising solution. First, Ideonella sakaiensis PETase, a structurally well-characterized consensus α/β-hydrolase fold enzyme, converts PET to mono-(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (MHET). MHETase, the second key enzyme, hydrolyzes MHET to the PET educts terephthalate and ethylene glycol. (see how this works below)

The Cost of Flushing a Toilet

Besides the problems associated with flushable wipes, we need to consider the excessive waste of water as well. Toilets are responsible for the highest amount of indoor water consumption. According to the EPA, approximately 30 percent of a household’s water consumption is attributed to toilets.

Modern toilets use approximately 1.6 gallons of water per flush. Toilets with an inbuilt water sense mechanism can help reduce water consumption by 20 to 60 percent. This can help you save $110 every year.

These numbers are limited to household water consumption. We can expect water consumption to be significantly higher for commercial facilities.

In the case of an average toilet (with a flush capacity of 1.6 gallons), a single flush will cost you 1.3 cents. The cost increases exponentially if you flush multiple times after each use. If a person flashes five times a day, this will have an annual fee of $24. In the case of households (with an average household size of 2.6), the yearly cost can be $61.70.

We must also remember that water is a finite resource. Water reservoirs are depleting around the world. Even if you can afford a high water bill, this will not magically fill water reservoirs. Instead, we need an active solution that automatically reduces water consumption and helps minimize waste.

IV. Product Description

Trackless Flush Sheets are manufactured using a specially designed paper product that dissolves within 20 minutes of being placed in the toilet bowl. The flush sheets are 10 inches long, and environmentally safe bacteria-eating enzymes are applied to each sheet. The sheets are designed to encompass and coat human waste and paper products flushed down the toilet. They work by breaking down the flushed materials.

Using our flush sheets also eliminates the need to apply cleaning chemicals to toilets. This is because they break down the waste organically. A natural and environmentally friendly enzyme on each sheet causes a chemical reaction. This causes the flushed paper and other waste materials to break down at a molecular level.

Each Flush Sheet is color-coded based on its intended use (commercial, residential, recreational). Extensive research has also revealed that the flush sheet requires a unique dimension of 10 inches to function correctly. These specific dimensions ensure even dispersion of the active enzymes. Each flush sheet also has a unique pleated ridge design, which expands in the water to cover waste and paper products completely. Before flushing, the enzymes are released to initiate the disintegration of these materials.

Every Trackless Flush Sheet contains a specific amount of enzymes capable of breaking down most cellulose-based paper products. Chemical engineers have programmed these enzymes to break down most waste materials. Additionally, added products have been supplemented with a unique scent. They prevent the buildup of hard water in buildings. As a result, using the TFS leaves toilets and commodes clean and dispels any foul odors. There are no limits to the type of facilities in which Trackless Flush Sheets can be used. They can be used in homes, offices, and recreational vehicles such as RVs, boats, and airplanes.

How TFS Works:

When placed in the toilet or commode, Trackless Flush Sheets sink to the bottom of the bowl, creating a barrier between the sides of the bowl and future waste that ends up in the toilet. This waste can include feces and all types of toilet paper.

When you flush the toilet or commode, the flush sheet folds around the waste during flushing. Once the flush sheet can encompass the waste, the components in the flush sheets (such as enzymes) start the breakdown process. The coating action of each flush sheet ensures maximum efficiency and enables them to break down as they are flushed into the sewer lines, septic tanks, and holding tanks.

TFS is the perfect vehicle for delivering the right amount of enzymes in the toilet and sewer line with each flush. If used regularly, it can aid the entire sewer system function correctly, reducing the need for expensive plumbing and septic tank repair costs.

TFS reduces the amount of water used when flushing, eliminating the need for multiple flushes. As mentioned, it also helps avoid using expensive cleaning chemicals that ultimately harm the environment.

Combining our flush sheets and specially designed enzymes is critical in saving water and the environment. Whether you are a homeowner, businessperson, or recreational vehicle enthusiast, this product can help everyone do their part for the environment while saving time and money.

Types of TFS

To ensure the effectiveness of our product, we have created three different types of Trackless Flush Sheets. They are color-coded and vary according to their use. Depending on your requirements, you can choose one of the following types of Trackless Flush Sheets:

1. Efficient TFS

• Color: White
• Enzyme Patch: Absent

Efficient Flush Sheets have been designed for primary use. They do not have any enzymes for the treatment of waste materials. So, you can use these flush sheets for general use, but they do not involve the treatment of a holding tank or sewer line. The target audience for these flush sheets includes real estate agents, home inspectors, repair service personnel, and other types of temporary workers who use the bathroom facilities while in a home. As the name suggests, these flush sheets promote more efficient use of our products by minimizing the use of enzymes.

2. Residential/Recreational TFS

• Color: Blue
• Enzyme Patch: Present

Our Residential Trackless Flush Sheets are more advanced. They incorporate enzymes applied to the center of every sheet. As mentioned earlier, these enzymes break down human waste and paper products at a molecular level. These flush sheets can be used in every household, apartment, dorm room, office building, and public restroom.

3. Commercial TFS

• Color: Orange
• Enzyme Patch: Present

Our Commercial Trackless Flush Sheets are similar to our Residential Flush Sheets. They function in the same manner as a residential flush sheet. However, the target audience for these flush sheets is different. These sheets have been designed for commercial purposes. They can be used in all commercial facilities. These include restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes, law offices, retirement facilities, government offices (including all branches of the military), schools, universities, trade and private vocational training facilities, and septic tanks

V. Product Distribution & Use of Blockchain

Given the potential global use of TFS, we will establish distribution channels that enable the international distribution of our product. Blockchain technology will play a critical role in this regard. We will use this technology to create an efficient and transparent online ordering system. The use of Blockchain for online ordering and payment processing has several advantages. These include:

• It can process transactions in any currency necessary to introduce our product to international markets.
• It helps avoid the complexities and costs of processing foreign transactions and dealing with foreign exchanges. Traditional foreign exchanges are also prone to delays and may charge several hidden costs that affect the customer.

We will use the Stellar Blockchain. This technology, invented by Jed McCaleb and Joyce Kim, enables users to initiate cross-border transactions quickly and inexpensively. Stellar Blockchain can transfer any currency in the form of Lumens (their native Stellar tokens, much like Bitcoin). Once the money has been successfully transferred, the Lumens can be converted into the recipient’s local currency. To ensure the cost-effectiveness of this process, Stellar uses the best foreign exchange rate available for currency conversion.

Stellar Blockchain can help us build a robust online ordering and payment system because:

Inside the TFS Online Ordering and Shipping Process

Blockchain for online ordering and payment often sparks doubt and uncertainty among users. This is mainly due to a need for greater awareness of Blockchain applications.

VI.Practical Applications of TFS:
The use of TFS can help solve multiple problems at a residential and commercial level. It can also resolve issues faced by recreational vehicle enthusiasts. Let’s take a quick look at the potential uses of TFS:

A. Residential Use

Trackless Flush Sheets will solve the following issues with residential toilets:

• You no longer have to worry about leaving waste tracks in the commode after use
• Never be embarrassed by the absence of a toilet brush in the bathroom for your house guests.
• You don’t have to worry about the buildup of hard water in the bowl.
• With TFS, one flush is sufficient to eliminate the content sent in the toilet bowl, saving water and reducing water bills.ls
• No additional septic tank products are needed to treat it; TFS treats all types of septic tanks.
• Avoid costly septic tank and sewage line repairs caused by flushed paper products clogging sewer lines and septic leach lines.
• Eliminate foul toilet odors due to waste residues in the toilet bo. wl
• Reduce the need for toxic cleaning chemicals that harm the environment.
• Eliminate using toilet brushes that harbor feces and microorganisms that spread germs and diseases.

TFS can resolve all of the problems outlined above. All you have to do is insert a flush sheet into the toilet or commode before use. The flush sheet will encompass the waste materials when you flush them, breaking them down efficiently in the sewer system. TFS can increase the longevity of sewage systems and avoid expensive repairs. They reduce water usage in residents by up to 60%. This directly contributes to low maintenance costs and savings on your water bill.

C. Recreational Vehicles

Trackless flush sheets can also be used to manage waste in recreational vehicles. However, applying flush sheet products in these vehicles differs significantly from those in commercial and residential environments.

Because recreational vehicles are mobile, no permanent lines are attached to a sewage system. Instead, RVs use a closed system for handling waste. They have installed a holding tank that stores waste.

Once the holding tank is complete, you must take your RV to a dumping station and pay a fee to empty it. To maximize savings, an RV owner seeks to reduce the number of tank dump stops needed during regular use.

For this to happen, you must try to reduce the rate at which the tank fills up. Despite its reasonable size, most holding tanks fill up very quickly. There are two main reasons for this:

1. Waste and paper products flushed down the toilet take up a lot of space in the holding tank.
2. You must use excessive water to flush the commode and clean the tracks left behind after each use, which can lead to excessive water accumulating in the tank. Conversely, if the RV owner refrains from using sufficient water to get rid of waste tracks, the waste residue in the commode can lead to a lack of hygiene, and your RV can also fill up with foul odors.

Using flush sheets can help resolve these problems. When you insert a flush sheet into the commode before use, the flush sheet breaks down the waste materials. You also do not need to flush multiple times to eliminate the waste tracks. Instead, a single flush is sufficient.

The RV owner can also feel reassured that their holding tank will always be treated with the correct amount of enzymes. This can help them avoid problems resulting from overtreatment or undertreatment of the black-water holding tank.

Ultimately, using TFS in a recreational vehicle can help RV owners save money, as they must make fewer stops to empty the holding tank. It also promotes yRV’s overhygieneRVs and limits water waste.

B. Commercial

TFS has widespread applications in the commercial environment. These are similar to the use of flush sheets in the residential environment. Commercial property owners can reap the following benefits if they use this product:

• Lower costs for cleaning and maintenance of commercial bathroom facilities.
• Promote sanitation and avoid customer complaints due to unpleasant odors from the toilet bowl.l
• Breakdown of human waste and flushed paper products helps avoid significant repair costs of clogged sewer lines.

The commercial applications of TFS include:

These facilities rely on janitorial and housekeeping staff to ensure an adequate level of sanitation in bathrooms. On average, commercial restroom cleaning and sanitation services can cost $50 to $60 per hour. Depending on the size of the facility, monthly cleaning service costs can skyrocket.  

These facilities are also easily prone to highly unsanitary conditions. This is a natural side effect resulting from frequent use by various public members. Safe to say, the size and popularity of a facility are directly proportional to the cleaning and repair costs generated. Employing housekeeping and janitorial staff to maintain public restrooms regularly also reduces efficiency. This is because you must dedicate a specific amount of manpower to these tasks, which can prevent you from focusing on other critical aspects of maintenance.

Water waste is a common problem, as well. Some of the most common sources of water waste include:

• Multiple flushes
• Water used for cleaning toilets
• Water used for cleaning tools such as toilet brushes

You may also be compelled to use extra toilet paper if no toilet brush is available. All of these factors lead to high water bills. Excessive waste of water is also detrimental to the environment.

TFS can be used as an alternative to help resolve these problems. It is practical, inexpensive, and requires no prior training before use. You can reduce water waste, avoid expensive maintenance costs, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your janitorial staff.

The nature of flush sheets, if used regularly, pays for itself. Besides lowering your monthly maintenance costs, you can also extend the life of your toilets and sewer systems.

VII.Conclusion:

Trackless Flush Sheets have widespread applications that can benefit every individual on the planet. This solution can be introduced in residential, commercial, and recreational facilities (essentially anywhere with a toilet or a commode). Given its global scope, TFS’s scalability is exponential.

The use of TFS can help save time, water, and money. Besides reducing maintenance and cleaning costs, the most significant use of TFS is that it helps reduce the damage caused by flushable paper products. Currently, these products make up a billion-dollar industry. The use of these products in households and commercial buildings has had devastating consequences. They are responsible for causing a significant amount of damage to sewage lines and waste treatment facilities. Companies that manufacture these products have been subject to multiple lawsuits filed by civilians and government bodies.

TFS offers a working solution to this problem. It is also environment-friendly and cost-effective. Each purchase of TFS will pay for itself by helping you save money spent on conventional cleaning methods & products.

With increased awareness and market penetration, we expect TFS to become a staple worldwide product. If implemented worldwide, TFS stands to deliver benefits at the macro and micro levels. Investing in this product will mean investing in water conservation, better hygiene practices, and protection of the environment. It will also help contribute to the efficiency of waste treatment plants and increase the longevity of plumbing infrastructure.
